Specifications Continued
*Varies based on enclosure type and volume. See pages 4 and 5.

Ported Box - Ported Boxes are the enclosure type we
recommend for optimum performance of your
VC-Series Subwoofer. A ported box features a vent or port
to couple the woofer’s back-wave with the front-wave. This
results in markedly improved efciency and low frequency
response.
These enclosures are somewhat larger than the sealed
alternative.
Enclosures
The enclosure designs listed below will give you the best possible performance from your VC-Series subwoofer. NVX
woofers are optimized for use in both ported and sealed enclosures, each of which has distinct sonic characteristics.

Enclosures Continued
Sealed Boxes - A sealed enclosure offers improved acoustic
suspension and cone control, which reduces distortion and
increases the power handling capabilities of the subwoofer.
They are smaller than their ported counterparts, and offer
atter bass response with more consistency across the
frequency range.
